Modern science gives little attention to the social process of adopting the Galenic medical system among the Arabs. As mentioned above, there were a number of medical theories and approaches, and each had a supporting group: patrons of scientific activities, medical practitioners, courtiers, men of religion (particularly Muslims and Christians) as well as rulers. It seems that there was a rather fierce competition between those groups, each cultivated its preferred theory, took care of translation and provided their unique medical treatment. Galenism was one of the medical theories around, it had competitors and "enemies", and it was the medical system who won. In this lecture I will present some explanations to this process. 111 111 398 PALESTINE 267 LYBIA Abdelaziz Allabadi Abushwereb A. K.

  • L'archivio Di Pietra Di Capodistria
    Aldo Cherini L’archivio di pietra di Capodistria Autoedizione 1999 Aldo Cherini, 7 giugno 1999 Ristampa maggio 2011 — www.cherini.eu Capodistria, privilegiata sede del podestà e capitano di Venezia quale rappresentante del governo centrale, e sede non meno privilegiata degli uffici governativi dell’intera provincia dell’Istria veneta, residenza quindi pro tempore di personaggi di spicco e di funzionari superiori nonchè di esponenti delle famiglie cittadine più attive ed impegnate, ha lasciato una plurisecolare traccia documentata con centinaia di epigrafi e stemmi (almeno 615) costituenti un vero e proprio archivio litico, che viene ad integrare, talvolta con notizie proprie, l’archivio membranaceo e cartaceo proprio di ogni centro storico. Con riguardo all’andamento topografico dell’antica città quale contenente un simile archivio, gli stemmi e le epigrafi si trovano in numero preponderante nella Piazza del Duomo e nell’adiacente Brolo, nei lapidari del Civico Museo di Storia ed Arte, nella Piazza da Ponte e lungo le vie principali mentre una trentina di pezzi isolati sono reperibili qua e là. Un archivio particolare, questo, che non teme il sole e la pioggia, unico nell’Istria, esibito alla vista di tutti, quantomeno di quanti hanno la curiosità di alzare gli occhi e la capacità intellettiva di comprendere di che si tratta, di leggere un po’ di latino. Non è molto semplice passare in rassegna una documentazione del genere, che va dal 1269 agli iniziali anni 40 del nostro secolo. Bisogna stabilire un criterio che ben potrebbe essere cronologico se non ostasse la frammentazione e la commistione, non solo sotto questo aspetto, dei tanti documenti litici per cui conviene seguire semplicemente la collocazione topografica degli stessi con l’avvertenza che la pianta topografica e la nomenclatura viaria cittadina qui citata è quella del 1945, quella cioè della originale Capodistria veneta, quale non esiste più perché travolta dagli avvenimenti seguiti sotto ogni profilo civico, ambientale, culturale, amministrativo e politico.

  • The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
    Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery.

  • MILITARY HOSPITALS in the MAKING Major-General W
    J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-109-01-06 on 1 January 1963. Downloaded from 36 MILITARY HOSPITALS IN THE MAKING Major-General W. R; M. DREW C.B., C.B.E., Q.H.P., F.R.C.P. DURING the last 300 years England has shown an increasing concern for the constant care of her sick and wounded. Many successful generals and other officers command­ ing have long appreciated that the outcome of a campaign can depend on the medical services. Broadly it can be said that the evolution of army hospitals has followed closely their civil and naval counterparts, and that following each war improvements have been accomplished in the organization of military hospitals and medical services. It is probable that the first military hospital to be established in this country was that in Porchester Castle in 1563 which was required for the care of the casualties from the gallant garrison of Havre (Stewart 1950). The next was in Dublin where an army hospital was built and equipped in 1600, but this w{s closed when James I by guest. Protected copyright. reduced the garrison in Ireland. At the beginning of the sixteenth century there were still no proper arrangements for the collection and transportation of'those wounded in war. Usually the victorious general arranged for the local country people to carry away and treat the w~unded left behind on the battlefield. In this period there was no separate medical organization . for either the Army or the Navy. Among the famous surgeons to serve in both of these Armed Services were William Clowes (1540-1604), John Woodall (1569-1643) and Richard Wiseman (1622-1676), all of whom published works on the treatment of battle casualties.

  • Literature on Ṭāʿūn/Plague Treatises* Mustakim Arıcı** Translated by Faruk Akyıldız***
    Silent Sources of the History of Epidemics in the Islamic World: Literature on Ṭāʿūn/Plague Treatises* Mustakim Arıcı** Translated by Faruk Akyıldız*** Abstract From 1347 onwards, new literature emerged in the Islamic and Western worlds: the Ṭā‘ūn [Plague] Treatises. The literature in Islamdom was underpinned by three things: (i) Because the first epidemic was a phenomenon that had been experienced since the birth of Islam, ṭā‘ūn naturally occurred on the agenda of hadith sources, prophetic biography, and historical works. This agenda was reflected in the treatises as discussions around epidemics, particularly plague, as well as the fight against disease in general in a religious and jurisprudential framework. (ii) Works aimed at diagnosing the plague and dealing with various aspects of it tried to explain disease on the basis of Galenic-Avicennian medicine within the framework of miasma theory, thus deriving their basis from this medical paradigm. (iii) Finally, the encounter with such a brutal illness prompted a quest for all possible remedies, including the occultist culture. This background shaped the language and content of the treatises at different levels. This article first evaluates the modern studies on plague treatises written in the Islamic world. Then, it surveys the Islamic historical sources in order to pin down the meaning they assign to the concepts of wabā’ [epidemic disease] and ṭā‘ūn [plague]. Certain medical works that were the resources for medical doctrines and terminology for plague treatises are also evaluated with a focus on these two concepts. Thus, the aim of this survey is to understand the general conception of epidemic disease and plague in the Islamic world before the Black Death (1346-1353).

  • The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards)
    Implementation Toolkit Practice Guidance The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards) Purpose: This document is intended to support MCH professionals to implement a practice found in the Implementation Toolkits. This resource provides the information needed to replicate the practice and is divided into two sections: the first section provides a high-level overview of the practice while the second section describes how to implement the practice. For additional information on any of the content provided below, please reach out to the practice contact located at the bottom of this document. Section I: Resource Overview Practice Description The New York City Standards for Respectful Care at Birth (NYC Standards) were co-created by the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Community Engagement Group (SRJ-CEG) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) to inform, educate and support pregnant, birthing, and parenting people with regard to their human rights, and encourage them to be active decision-makers in their healthcare experiences. The 29 NYC Standards are organized into 7 overarching categories: Education, Quality of Care, Informed Consent, Decision- Making, Dignity and Nondiscrimination and Support. In July 2015, the NYC DOHMH convened the SRJ-CEG in order to co-create respectful, equitable, culturally grounded, and community-driven means of promoting sexual and reproductive health and justice in NYC. Drafting, publishing and promoting the NYC Standards was one success of SRJ-CEG’s Birth Justice campaign, which aimed to 1) support community members and providers to advocate for respectful care at birth, 2) increase application of best practices for respectful care at birth within health care institutions, and 3) mobilizing stakeholders and changing institutional policies and practices to support the use of the sexual and reproductive justice framework and community-led initiatives and accountability.
